*Keep in mind that the Gospel interactions given in these updates is but a taste of our LORD’s work in this country of beautiful people. It’s not always feasible to make record of these divinely inspired exchanges. So this is a taste.


Praise God that yesterday the second order for a fresh supply of the JESUS tracts in Spanish were put in here! If you wish to help fund that, go here to Support which takes seconds. I will be picking up the new supply on Monday.


This is the phase of momentum, increase, of excitement! Yesterday and today have been field days! (John 4:34-38) What has been happening lately, as by the good hand of our God, is that I’ve been meeting a few born again disciples. Immediately upon beginning to minister to them, they joyfully exclaim to me that they are saved!!! So as we fellowship I’ve been asking them if they desire a stack of these JESUS tracts to pass out and they always say yes. So, this is the proliferation, the way our LORD’s Gospel begins to spread exponentially – person to person. This is what happened in Acts with the travels and ministries of the apostles and deacons (Stephen, Phillip etc.).


The What’s Next book is now translated into Spanish and will be available soon. Stay tuned. This will be the third of the ministry’s books in Spanish. Your prayers and support make this and every part of this Great Commission ministry outreach possible. EVERYTHING we do, by God’s grace, will always contain, will always spearhead with THE WORD of our God. Isaiah 55:11; 1 Peter 1:23

Jorge owns a nice shoe store. I went in to ask him a question which led to a lengthy visit. Immediately upon receiving a copy of the JESUS tract, Jorge smiled and told me he is a born again Christian. He told me that he was an angry sinful young man and was confronted by an American Christian on the streets of Puebla, Mexico one night and repented and received Jesus. He’s been walking with Jesus for 42 years now. We exchanged information and he was sent the Authentic and Moments books in Spanish on pdf. We discussed also the possibility of him allowing me to give him a supply of the JESUS tracts to pass out, etc. | More Ministry Updates Here


You may remember how we’ve been ministering to Fernando. Well, he found me again today and was blessed to receive more help, including a hot lunch from a local family vendor and some money to get a haircut. Jesus is showing His love to Fernando and may God be praised for your prayer for him.


Another man who has received repeated ministry, food, clothing, etc., also receive the pair of shoes he recently requested as his shoes were out of business if you will. YOU make this possible. | Support


T’was blessed to meet a dear man named Antonio who gladly received extensive ministry. WHEN Antonio was told that you would be lifting him in prayer, his face lit up. Antonio is a very distinguished gentlemen here in Mexico. After receiving a thorough ministry of the Word of God, he fully agreed and was so very appreciative and especially ecstatic to know that you were going to lift him in prayer. Knowing you love the LORD Jesus, are about His business, and desire to see saints fed and lost souls saved, I informed Antonio you’d lift him in prayer in Jesus’ name. Being that I don’t speak the whole language of Spanish yet, I was unable to discern if he is already saved, which is rarely the case here due to the Gospel not being preached here much – till now. GOD knows what he needs, right? Why not just pray according to Colossians 4:12, right? Boom.

When God’s people pray in the name of Jesus Christ, God answers those prayers and also makes the heart of His people to be filled with His joy (John 16:23-24; Philippians 1:19).

Jesus is King.

Mario and Veronica have been married for 68 years. They gladly received the Gospel of Jesus Christ at length today and when I shared with them that American Christians would be praying for them, they were very glad to hear that and actually bowed their heads and grabbed my hands to pray for them right there on the spot. And we did. Thank you for pausing to ask God to save this couple. They have the JESUS tract and had the Gospel of Jesus preached to them today and shown the prayer on the back to repent and be saved.

Exactly where you are is part of “all the world.”

“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.” Mark 16:15-16

Also, Jesus gives His Gospel as an ultimatum. Is Jesus intending that we bring the hearers of His Gospel to a decision? Seems like it. Read the passage again.


This precious woman received God’s love in the form of the spoken Word in her language, some coin, and a Jesus tract. You made this possible. Team Jesus!

“WE (plural) are labourers TOGETHER with God.” 1 Corinthians 3:9

Mission Mexico Rolling 


The more I read God’s Word, the more convinced I am that the Heaven bound remnant are known in that they are about the “Father’s business” – the Great Commission – and not their own (Luke 2:49). They have laid down and are forsaking their own lives in this fleeting world in their supreme love for Christ Jesus (Acts 20:24). Anyone claiming to be Christ’s and not doing, participating in the Great Commission command … clearly reveals that they are in need of repentance, before it’s too late. Jesus is not their “first love” – which means they are committing spiritual adultery on Christ, the Great and coming Bridegroom (Revelation 2:4-5). Repent and obey Him or perish.

Mr. Ramone was informed that YOU will be lifting him in prayer. He was glad to hear that. This gentleman received the Word of our LORD spoken to him in Spanish, a Jesus tract, and some coin – all compliments of Christ via His beloved body.

“WE are labourers TOGETHER with God.” 1 Corinthians 3:9


“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 15:58

“1 Corinthians 15: 58. This verse is for all of us who labor for the Lord. We are to be unshakable. Letting nothing move us from the hope of the gospel. We are servants of Christ ever ‘abounding in the work of the Lord’ Abounding in the furthering of the gospel. Our labor ‘in the Lord’ will be rewarded. Yesterday the Lord gave me a small reward seeing that man sitting on his porch reading the Jesus tract. And since we are laborers together it is a small reward for all of us! We, each member of Christ’s body, the world over, are team Jesus! And He is our eternal reward! We shall be with Him forever in the New Jerusalem!” Karen Cochran


Michael is homeless. He received a warm meal from a local family owned restaurant, a cold water, a JESUS tract and the spoken Word of God.


Billy: This man was informed that you were going to be praying for him. He loved that. When Billy walked in with this shirt on, it was an easy natural lead in to minister the One who saves and fuels our souls – JESUS. Billy readily received the preaching of the Gospel and a copy of the JESUS tract. It was a fruitful exchange to say the least. God is good.

“Thank you for caring for the beautiful people of Mexico. AMEN ✝️. The mission Fields are Ripe for the Harvest of precious souls but the Workers are Few. All Glory to God. Thanks for answering God’s call brother Todd.” Barbara Kuks

MESSAGE:

“Well folks it’s getting about that time that I go to different countries and spread Jesus because few are learning here. There are tender hearts all over the world that need Jesus and someone who will go to them not worried about riches.” Cindy Barker

REPLY:

THIS IS exactly the sense I’ve been getting since coming to Mexico 4 months ago!!! The receptivity is off the charts here as compared to the gainsaying hardened western world! Thank you for sharing. 100% agree. Acts 8:4 comes to mind. After Pentecost, when there was persecution in Jerusalem, we read: “Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word” (Acts 8:4). Is this exactly where we are in America?

To sister Cindy’s point….. If you begin talking to one person about Jesus and give them a Gospel tract, the other person or people who hear are listening and they look at you with a “Can I have one of those Gospel tracts also” looks. Unreal. To say these fields are “white unto harvest” is the way Jesus coined this (John 4:34-38)! In fact this is exactly what happened with the couple pictured below.

CAUGHT RED HANDED!!!!
THIS AFTERNOON (see picture below): So I stopped and ministered extensively to this precious man, and his wife was helping a customer but was listening to every word I spoke. The Word ministered to this man was our LORD’s Gospel. Gave him a JESUS tract in Spanish. A while later I walked back by their store (that they own) and she was devouring every word of the JESUS tract. I told them how beautiful a family they are in Spanish. They were stricken with joy! SMH at how deeply hungry people are for their LORD JESUS!!!! So I stopped again and ministered more to both of them and as usual showed them the prayer on the back and exhorted them to stop their their life and repent and receive Jesus and He will instantly wash away all their sins! Somebody say Luke 24:47 boom!

Jesus is coming saints – let’s roll!

Barbara Kuks writes:

“Indeed! Even in Mexico, hearts are longing for Jesus. We have a huge mission field there and in other countries! Todd Tomasella has been sharing the Gospel there and many have received the Good News with gladness and joy.

Mexico Mission


THERE is no work, no activity transpiring on the earth that is even important in contrast to the eternal work of our Father and Savior to feed, nourish, and equip His saints and win lost souls. The Great Commission command of Christ is in full force and His remnant saints are obeying Him and doing it. See Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-20; Luke 24:47; book of Acts, etc..

The Blessing of Being Born of God, Born Again [podcast]


QUESTION:

“What does it mean to be ‘born again’?”

REPLY:

Great question. I am praying for you now. Born again is the same as regeneration we see in Titus 3:5-7. When the sinner (ALL of us) comes to God humbly, in repentance, turning his life to the LORD, and putting all of his faith now in Jesus Christ alone, God does a miracle in the person’s life—a change on the inside that is unmistakable and transforms that persons nature and life forever. From that moment onward, Christ reigns in that person’s life, filling him with love, joy, peace, etc. (Galatians 5:22-23). The LORD works from the inside out. First He saves, washes our sins away, and then dwells in that newly saved, born again temple (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).

To be born again you have to go to God directly…. admitting you have sinned against Him, and receive Jesus into your life. It has to be personal. Religions are designed to keep you from God while claiming to be the way to God. Beware.

“Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3

“Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again (2nd birth).” John 3:7

“The birth for which Christ contends is from above—by the agency of the Holy Spirit. Every man must have two births, one from heaven, the other from earth—one of his body, the other of his soul: without the first he cannot see nor enjoy this world, without the last he can not see nor enjoy the kingdom of God. As there is an absolute necessity that a child should be born into the world, that he may see its light, contemplate its glories, and enjoy its good, so there is an absolute necessity that the soul should be brought out of its state of darkness and sin, through the light and power of the grace of Christ, that it may be able to see, or to discern, the glories and excellencies of the kingdom of Christ here, and be prepared for the enjoyment of the kingdom of glory hereafter. The Jews had some general notion of the new birth; but, like many among Christians, they put the acts of proselytism, baptism, etc., in the place of the Holy Spirit and his influence: they acknowledged that a man must be born again; but they made that new birth to consist in profession, confession, and external washing.

The new birth which is here spoken of comprehends, not only what is termed justification or pardon, but also sanctification or holiness. Sin must be pardoned, and the impurity of the heart washed away before any soul can possibly enter into the kingdom of God. As this new birth implies the renewing of the whole soul in righteousness and true holiness, it is not a matter that may be dispensed with: heaven is a place of holiness, and nothing but what is like itself can ever enter into it.” Adam Clarke

“I can remember after getting saved my friends and my family immediately saying What happened to her?’ There was an immediate and complete change in me. God cleaned me from the inside out. I was made brand new and people noticed. My family asked ‘What has happened to her?’ Does anyone know? Yes! Jesus happened to me! Alleluia!” Karen Cochran

YOUR PRAYER TO GOD TO BE SAVED, TO BE FORGIVEN

Are You Ready to be Saved? Okay here’s a prayer to be God’s child. You have to admit the obvious, that you have sinned against God and turn to Him fully, turn your life over to Him who made you, and confess Jesus Christ as the new LORD and Savior of your life. Pray this …

Your Prayer to God … You must honestly admit your sins and receive Christ… Apply His holy blood to your life so that you may be saved, forgiven, and live eternally with Him. You must completely turn your life over to Him in repentance and faith. Now, pray the following prayer to God with all that is within you, from your heart and out loud:….

Dear heavenly Father, right now, if never before, I come to You as a broken and sinful person. Thank You for sending Your only begotten Son to die in my place for my sins. Thank You Jesus for coming to this earth to die and rise again to rescue me from sin and eternal hell and to save me for Your eternal glory. Right this moment, if never before, I receive You LORD Jesus. Come in and take over my whole life. I am all Yours and You are all mine. I love You Jesus and I will follow You from this moment forward till I am with You in Heaven forever! Please use me to help others know You dear LORD. In Jesus’ Name, amen.


How do we know someone is “born of God”?

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18  And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; … Now then we are ambassadors for Christ…” 2 Corinthians 5:17-18, 20

First off, if you are born again you are changed from the inside out … you desire to do God’s will now…. and are learning the need for the cross, the daily crucified life (Luke 9:23-25).

Let us remember that the biblical words “born again” (John 3:3, 7),  “born of God” (1 John 4:7), “regeneration,” and being a “new creature” in Christ go hand in hand or we can say, are synonymous.

“Born of God” appears 6 times in God’s Word and are all found in the book of 1 John:

1 John 3:9
Whosoever is BORN OF GOD doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is BORN OF GOD.

Those who are “born of God” do not live in sin. They repent or return (turn back) to the LORD, confessing all sin. If not they will “fall away” and be outside of Christ (Luke 8:13). See Can a Born Again Man be Un-Born Again? [podcast]


1 John 4:7
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is BORN OF GOD, and knoweth God.

Those who are “born of God” walk in His love toward others.


1 John 5:1
Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is BORN OF GOD: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.

Those who repent and believe upon Christ are “born of God” and they love all other of Christ’s saints.


1 John 5:4
For whatsoever is BORN OF GOD overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

Those who are “born of God” overcome this fallen world. By present and perpetual faith, they “overcometh the world.”


1 John 5:18
We know that whosoever is BORN OF GOD sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

Those “born of God” do not live in sin. Rather, they “keepeth” themselves from sin and therefore Satan. This is accomplished by what we read in 1 John 1 and 2—which spells out the walk of the true disciple of Jesus.

MAY GOD bless each disciple of Jesus today to abide in Christ by walking crucified and raised up by Him today (2 Corinthians 4:10-12). May “the fruit of the Spirit”—the “love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance” be abundantly produced in the life of every saint of Jesus! May it be 100 fold LORD! Read John 15. If you have been drawn in by Christ (John 6:44; 12:32), have repented (Luke 13:3), have received Christ (John 1:12), and are born again (John 3:3), you are bought by the precious blood of the LORD Jesus Christ (1 Peter 1:17-18).

YOUR PRAYER: Heavenly Father, You found and saved me into Your eternal kingdom by way of the precious blood of Your only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. I stop this life here and now, and I give You praise. I love You LORD Jesus. I am no longer my own but Yours. I am crucified with Christ. Please work in me both to will and to do of Your good pleasure. I am all Yours LORD and I know You are all mine! Please fill this vessel with Your Holy Ghost afresh, and please use me. In Jesus’ name, amen Master Jesus!

From brother Juan:

“Glory to God, brother! We know that the Word of God is not imprisoned. Jeremiah was in the prison courtyard, and God said, ‘Call to me, and I will answer you and tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.’ And we know that the word of God never returns empty; it always fulfills its purpose, brother. So we fully trust that God will do the work to expand His kingdom for His honor and glory. To Him be all the honor, brother. Blessings.” Juan

Jesus Calling Devotional Exposed: 10 Things You Might Not Know

“I know so many who are so deceived by this book!! The author is a woman and she makes Jesus sound like your boyfriend who is so in love with you he can’t bare a minute without you! It is sickening! Plus she says the Bible was not enough for her. She needed more. This author died and if she did repent of her blasphemy against a holy God she is burning in hell as we speak. There are not two Jesus’s! This book presents a weak, tolerant of all your sin, pathetic, spineless ‘Jesus.’ This false ‘Jesus’ just sits in heaven google-eyed over you and how much He can’t live one minute without you in His presence! This is opposite of the fierce Christ who calls out sin and hypocrisy, who took a whip to the money changers and flipped over tables in righteous anger! Mathew 23 shows us some of the most severe rebukes in all the New Testament. This is the Jesus true disciples chose to follow! May this new documentary open the eyes of many so-called Christians to how demonic and evil this book is.” Karen Cochran

 

BEWARE of the Jesus Calling devotional book which is written by a full blown heretic, Sarah Young. This book continually assures things to lost souls (catholics, etc.) reserved only for the true Christian. It promises salvation, assurance, grace, mercy, the glory of God, etc to lost hell bound idolatrous sinners. Like antichrist Rick Warren’s Purpose Driven Life book, Jesus Calling never calls sinners to repent which is a Gospel essential and without which God will never save any soul from sin and hell (Luke 13:3, 5). You will never hear Jesus’ born again commanded or command to repent in this heretical devotional book title Jesus Calling. This monstrosity simply confirms sinners in their sin, sealing their doom in the lake of fire (Jeremiah 23:17; Lamentations 2:14, etc.).

Sarah Young is just another self-willed false prophet who does “ministry” her way, not God’s, in order to sell books and to mislead eternal souls into eternal damnation.

The blessings of God in Christ’s salvation are reserved only for those born again “in Christ,” and never for hell bound religious idolaters (John 15:7; 2 Corinthians 1:20; 2 Peter 1:1-4, etc.). 


Stacy Strother writes:

Her subtly, deceptive, doctrinally corrupt fairy tale version of what she calls bible studies for all the different ages of people, including children’s bible studies, teen and other, are found in the book stores—shelves filled full.

She is deceived, a false witness, False bible teacher, and has not heard from our Jesus—the Christ, Son of the living God, of which, is the very Word of God.

She hears from demons. Period! She needs to REPENT, and be born again! Please Lord Jesus, help her see her own demise!”

About That Jesus Calling – 10 Things You Might Not Know

ARE you seeking to experience God OR to KNOW HIM? (John 17:3)

“People want a word from God instead of the Word OF God.” Warren Smith

by Lighthouse Trails Editors

1. Did you know that Sarah Young says she had been inspired by the “Jesus” of a book called God Calling?

2. Did you know that Christian publisher Harvest House’s book The Encyclopedia of New Age Beliefs says that God Calling is an example of a channeled New Age book “replete with denials of biblical teaching”?1

3. Did you know that the “Jesus” of God Calling teaches that God is “in” everyone?

4. Did you know that the “Jesus” of Jesus Calling contradicts the Jesus of the Bible?

5. Did you know that the “Jesus” of Jesus Calling rejects the Jesus of the Bible’s warnings about the future and tells us to “laugh” at the future?

6. Did you know that the “Jesus” of Jesus Calling frequently flatters his followers, which contrasts the way Jesus Christ spoke to people?

7. Did you know that Sarah Young’s “Jesus” revises the night that Jesus Christ was born and calls it a “dark night” in a “filthy stable” in “appalling conditions” even though the Bible says the shepherds rejoiced in all that they had seen that night? 2

8. Did you know that the “Jesus” of Jesus Calling revises the accounts of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph of the Bible?

9. Did you know that the “Jesus” of Jesus Calling encourages his followers to practice contemplative “listening” prayer and to have a “buffer zone of silence” with no warning about seducing spirits?3

10.  Did you know that the “Jesus” of Jesus Calling emphasizes New Age terms and concepts throughout the book?

FEEDBACK:

“Solid Biblical refutation of the “New Age ” nonsense passing itself off as the latest thing God is doing. In our area a number of Churches have embraced this and other similar material with no discernment to the un-biblical nature of this drivel. Thank God for Warren B. Smith and others who provide an inestimable service to the Body of Christ as “watchmen on the wall.” Pastor Tom, West Harrison NY”
